Tigers lament pitching woes against Pirates
Ausmus on loss 4:04 7/1/15: Tigers manager Brad Ausmus discusses how his team was beaten in every category in a loss against the Pirates Not anymore.
On a night when Detroit desperately needed a quality outing from its starter, Simon did just about the opposite. The righty allowed six runs on a career-high 15 hits over 5 2/3 innings on Wednesday, becoming just the third Tigers starter to surrender that many hits in a game since the 1950s.
The Pirates tallied 21 total on the night -- a season-high -- in a 9-3 loss at Comerica Park.
"[Simon] was scuffling to get outs," said Ausmus.
